About FC SAN – Collection

After made some modification in our SAN network i need to describe all

First about the design(Architectural) point of view very clear explanation from brocade. Actually my design is between mesh and core-edge

About the limitations need to read each FOS version scalability guidelines , this is for version 7.x (FOS is Fabric OS , Firmware or Operating System of brocade switch) its important because how many switch(domain id) supported per fabric, how many access gateway per fabric, how many node per fabric, number of zone

Most important question mark in my mind was multiple connection between Brocade Access Gateway to Fabric SWITCH for availability , read section 2.4.1 in same document , i tested and F port to N port mapping are switched and communication is continue without any issue at the fail-over time

About Brocade Access Gateway port mapping use same document or fallow related link

First you have to disable switch (this is also needed if you update the licenses on switch too)

Jango-Fett:admin> switchdisable

Disable auth policy

Jango-Fett:admin> authutil –policy -sw off Warning: Activating the authentication policy requires either DH-CHAP secrets or PKI certificates depending on the protocol selected. Otherwise, ISLs will be segmented during next E-port bring-up. ARE YOU SURE (yes, y, no, n): [no] y
Auth Policy is set to OFF
